Contents

The first two seasons were shot in Hindu College and University of Delhi. It was one of the early web series in India and gained immense popularity and became one of the most-watched shows by students in India.

The third part of the series was made into a film. Principal photography began in October 2018 and was wrapped up in February 2019. However, the third part was released as a five-episode series as the third season titled Baked – The Bad Trip. It premiered on 2 May 2022 on Voot. [3]

Premise

The first two seasons revolve around the lives of three friends and roommates — Haris (Pranay Manchanda), Oni (Shantanu Anam) and Body (Manik Papneja) - who are students at Delhi University, find it hard to make ends meet and start a midnight food delivery service to make some extra money.

In the third season, Haris, Oni, and Body—now three former college friends—reunite for a road trip to the hills, each with a secret agenda. From getting lost in rural India to being mistaken for drug smugglers and getting arrested, nothing goes according to plan for the boys.
